A lasting marriage in this day and time is getting harder and harder to maintain. It is a plus for any couple to add excitement every now and then. Dating doesn't have to be so repetitious. There are plenty of ways to spice it up and bring in the fire. While going to dinner and a movie is nice, it can get old real quick. Here are five idea's for dating to bring back the butterflies:
1. Switch it up. For people who like role playing games this is perfect. Each person needs to think of someone that they want to act out as, such as a lawyer or police officer. Give yourselves a clothing allowance and get creative. Next plan a meeting place like a lounge or cafe. Introduce yourselves to each other as if you have never met. I got this idea from the movie "When a man loves a women". Here is a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VSyKVgi0_8 This is a date with endless outcomes that is sure to bring on the butterflies.
2. Heat it up in the kitchen. If communication is needed in your marriage, cooking together can be a great conversation starter. With this date planning is a must. Each couple needs to pick what they want to cook and help do stuff with each others recipes. Working together in a creative setting can bring on the flirtatious body language and genuine laughter. For added excitement open a bottle of Vino and turn on some music. Dates like these can result in beautiful memories for everlasting conversations.
3. Get artistic with body painting. Body painting allows for physical interaction. With this type of date you are sure to laugh and have fun. Don't be afraid to make each other look silly. This activity is all about fun and play. You will get a chance to see the artistic side of your spouse!
4. Revert to childhood. Often in a marriage we get so tied up in work, bills, children, and financial responsibilities. A date that revolves around activities that bring out the kid in you and your husband is sure to bring some sparks again. Plan a whole day for these activities and make sure to pick things that interest both of you. Examples (paintball, go-kart racing, water park, miniature golf, water gun fight, balloon fight..etc)
5. Camp under the stars. Plan a night to pack up a tent and get out of the house. There is nothing like lying under the star's surrounded by nature. It brings closeness and gives more chances for snuggling up together. Make a pact to not talk about household responsibilities. Spend your time under the open sky reminiscing over past times. It's definitely romantic!
Dating with your husband can be new and exciting. Think out of the box and bring flavor to the table.

Love this! I am amazed at how much a husband loves when his wife just has fun with him (like you said with paintballing, etc). A snowball fight is always a fun one, too. :) Friday nights are our pizza night; we make the dough and pick out our toppings, and then choose a movie together. It's simple, but we enjoy it.
